Wolf Ridge Reno 2026: How Many New Homes Are Planned Near UNR, How Many Are Built and What's Still Coming

Wolf Ridge by D.R. Horton: Planned Homes, Homes Built and Sold, Current Prices, HOA and What Comes Next for New Townhome Buyers in North Reno 89512

By Crystal Bauer, Certified Luxury Realtor® | eXp Realty

When I wrote about Moose Ridge, a hillside subdivision of about 46 homes in Northwest Reno, the response was huge. The message I kept hearing was simple: Reno needs more homes that working families can actually buy.

That is why Wolf Ridge deserves a closer look. It is one of the only places in central Reno where you can buy a brand-new home with a two-car garage, minutes from the University of Nevada, Reno, for close to $500,000. Here is what is planned, what has been built and sold, and how many more homes are still coming.

Where Is Wolf Ridge in Reno?

Wolf Ridge is a new D.R. Horton community at 2990 Winze Way, Reno, NV 89512, just north of UNR off Comstock Drive. The homes sit on a hillside with views of Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, the Sierra foothills and the downtown Reno skyline.

The community mixes two-story duets (attached homes that share one wall) with three-story detached homes. D.R. Horton offers seven floor plans from 1,555 to 2,501 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and a two-car garage on every plan. A smaller 1,366-square-foot, three-bedroom home also appeared on the MLS this fall.

How Many Homes Are Planned at Wolf Ridge?

This is the question everyone asks, and the honest answer is that D.R. Horton does not publish a total home count for Wolf Ridge. Here is what the public record does show:

Wolf Ridge is part of the larger Cottages at Comstock plan. Washoe County Assessor maps record the homes on Winze Way as "Cottages at Comstock North," a planned unit development recorded in phases, and Wolf Ridge homes belong to the Cottages at Comstock Community Association.
The original city approval covered 282 townhomes. In December 2018, the Reno Planning Commission heard case LDC17-00045, a tentative map for 282 single-family attached townhomes on roughly 35 acres west of Comstock Drive.
A second, separate approval nearby covers 196 more. In 2019 the city approved Comstock Cottages Phase 2 (LDC19-00071), a 196-lot attached-home subdivision on about 36 acres near Talus Way and North Virginia Street, and the developer asked for a two-year extension of that map in 2023 (LDC23-00057).

Earlier phases of Cottages at Comstock were built by Northern Nevada Homes starting around 2020. Wolf Ridge is D.R. Horton's newest section of this hillside, opened with its southern entrance off Comstock Drive and George Sullivan Parkway.

Bottom line: Wolf Ridge itself is a portion of a larger, already-approved townhome area, not a brand-new zoning fight like Moose Ridge. If you want the exact Wolf Ridge lot count and phase map before you buy, I can get it for you directly from the sales office.

How Many Wolf Ridge Homes Are Built and Sold?

First closing: October 13, 2025.
Closed sales: 12 Wolf Ridge homes closed between October 2025 and July 2026, from $530,450 to $655,990, with a median of about $545,855 (per a September 2026 MLS analysis).

Listings change daily. Ask me for the current list before you tour.

How Many More Wolf Ridge Homes Are Coming?

More are on the way. D.R. Horton lists every Wolf Ridge floor plan as "ready to build," several homes on Winze Way are under construction now, and the builder of the earlier Cottages at Comstock phases has said future phases are under construction. With 12 homes closed and 11 on the market, roughly two dozen Wolf Ridge homes have been released so far.

The exact number of remaining homesites is not published, so if you are hoping for a specific view lot or floor plan, it pays to get on the list early.

What Do Wolf Ridge Homes Cost in 2026?

Plan	Type	Beds / Baths	Square Feet	Starting Price*
1555	Duet, 2-story	3 / 2.5	1,555	$539,990
1793	Duet, 2-story	3 / 2.5	1,793	from the $560,000s

2501	Detached, 3-story	5 / 3.5	2,501	from the $660,000s

*Builder base pricing as published in September 2026. Prices, incentives and availability change often.

Prices are moving in buyers' favor. 2997 Winze Way first listed at $719,990 and is now under contract at a list price of $609,990, and a new 1,366-square-foot home just listed under $500,000. Several Wolf Ridge listings also mention seller-paid closing cost assistance.

HOA dues: The MLS shows different amounts by home type, for example $380 per quarter on a duet and $250 per quarter on a detached home. Always ask for the current HOA budget, reserve study and CC&Rs before you write an offer.

Why Wolf Ridge Matters for Reno's Attainable Housing Shortage

Brand-new homes in Reno are expensive. In July 2026, active new-construction listings in Reno had a median list price of about $697,950, while the median Reno townhome listed near $424,999. Wolf Ridge sits right in the gap, with new homes starting around $500,000 in a central, in-town location instead of the far edges of the valley.

For first-time buyers, UNR faculty and staff, healthcare workers and young families, that combination of price, location and a new-home warranty is hard to find anywhere else in Reno right now.

Wolf Ridge Schools

D.R. Horton lists Peavine Elementary, Clayton Middle School and Robert McQueen High School as nearby schools. School zones can change, so confirm assignments with the Washoe County School District for the specific address.

Buying at Wolf Ridge: My Checklist

Bring your agent on your first visit. Builders usually require your agent to register you at the first sales office visit, and the builder pays the agent, not you.
Ask about incentives. Closing cost help or rate buy-downs can be worth more than a price cut.
Compare duets and detached homes. Duets cost less; detached homes add a third story and more space.
Check the lot. View, slope, street traffic and the nearby Union Pacific rail line all affect daily life and resale.
Read the HOA documents and confirm dues, reserves and what the HOA maintains.
Get an independent inspection, even on brand-new construction.

The Bottom Line on Wolf Ridge

Wolf Ridge is one of the few places in Reno adding new, attainable homes close to downtown and UNR. About two dozen homes have been released, a dozen have closed, eight are available today, and more are planned as part of the larger Cottages at Comstock hillside. If you have been priced out of new construction elsewhere in Reno, this is one to see in person.
